After having just visited the A&W Corporate Headquarters and heard about the new concept stores in Lexington, Kentucky we were pumped to try the food.

I need to be straight up with you guys, I’m not a fan of Root Beer. I figured I’d give it a shot since it’s made daily at these A&W locations. The other big changes are fresh beef Burgers and hand-breaded Chicken Tenders, all part of my wheelhouse.

We sit down to what can be best described as a buffet of food courtesy of our friends at A&W.

It’s a lot to go over so I want to point out the high highs.

I’m now a Root Beer addict, that should tell you how incredible A&W’s Root Beer is. We went back to A&W every day afterward (4 days total) to get a frosty refreshment til we left Lexington. And don’t get me started on those Root Beer Floats…

That Coney Dog, just wow.

The Burgers are just plain killer. They’re fresh beef patties with the nicest of crusts on the outside. It’s a perfect little Burger specimen.

Why are these Chicken Tenders so far from me? On our 4th and last consecutive visit to A&W, we ordered Chicken Tenders again to wash down our Root Beer or was it the other way around. I don’t remember. Damn, they were good.

Congratulations to A&W on the Burgers Chicken Floats concept, it’s an out of the park grand slam. Now for the moment of truth, when will A&W return to South Florida? I’ll be impatiently waiting for my Root Beer fix.
